The Maryland Crabs is a podcast based in Annapolis Maryland which was launched in September 2016 after, quite literally years of hemming and hawing. After a few false starts, many aborted concepts, we just took the plunge, whipped out the credit cards and lit Amazon on fire with equipment orders. And here we are!

This podcast is not about interviews. It’s about topics and conversations of interest to Marylanders!

We are not going to shy away from controversy or discomfort. Valuable conversations can emerge from them. We will not be adversarial for the sake of being adversarial, but you can expect some heated exchanges between Tim and John and Guests–or any combination of those.

About Guests–we're going to have plenty of them! Some will be local or regional in nature--others more broad.

And, we may even take this show on the road. Some night, you might find us propped on a bar stool at the Ebb Tide..or worse!

The cost of living in Maryland is staggering. But, when you live
in a state that has the country's best flag, what would you expect?
So how do you level the playing field? Raising the minimum wage to
$15 an hour might be a good start, right? Welp, it's a little more
complicated than that when you're a small-business owner.

Jared Littmann, owner of K&B True
Value and former alderman of Ward 5 in
Annapolis, could be described as a Progressive Democrat. But he's
not a fan of HB 166, which would raise the minimum wage by almost
50%. He must have a pretty good reason for this, right? He does.
Jared breaks down what this legislation would mean from the
perspective of someone who owns a family-run business.
